How Leeds United's Wales players performed in Wembley defeat to England
When England played Wales at Wembley, the only representatives from Yorkshire's 11 league clubs were on the away team.
Even with Daniel James injured, Leeds United still had three players in Craig Bellamy's starting line-up, in the form of goalkeeper Karl Darlow, centre-back Joe Rodon and captain Ethan Ampadu.
Blitzed by the rampant Three Lions inside the first 20 minutes, and unable to muster a shot on goal until the 43rd, it was a tough night for any Wales player to try to shine on. Here is how the Leeds trio performed:
KARL DARLOW: He must have known it was not going to be his night when a second minute save, stretching out a right boot to Anthony Gordon's effort from a tight angle, produced the corner Morgan Rogers opened the scoring from. Ollie Watkins' goal was a tap in, and Bukayo Saka's curling strike left him with no chance.
Not a night that allowed him to build on his recent good form at club level, but neither did he let himself down in his first game at Wembley.
JOE RODON: Wales' best performer on the night, the heavily-tattooed defender caught the attention with two big blocks.
One delayed Saka's goal by about seven minutes after the winger was played through by Harry Kane's understudy Watkins, the second frustrated Gordon late on as he latched onto a Jarrod Bowen pass.
ETHAN AMPADU: Listed to play in a back five but actually appeared in a midfield quintet as Wales instead lined up in a 5-4-1, Ampadu struggled to turn back the tide of England attacks.
Leeds fans will be pleased that Ampadu was substituted just after the hour mark as Bellamy and Thomas Tuchel began managing players' minutes ahead of World Cup qualifiers at the start of next week.
